Software Integration Engineer leading integration and verification of software for telecommunications payload systems. Collaborating across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure cohesive software functionality.
Responsibilities
This position is for a proactive and experienced Software Integration Engineer responsible for leading the end-to-end integration, validation, and verification of software components developed by multiple teams within a complex digital telecommunications payload system.
The role is critical to ensuring that all software elements—from low-level embedded code to system-level control and test interfaces—function cohesively within the overall payload architecture.
As part of the Software Integration Team , the engineer will act as the technical lead for integration planning and execution, coordinating efforts across development areas such as digital processing, embedded control, test automation, and ground systems.
Key responsibilities include defining integration strategies, verifying software interfaces, leading validation activities, and reviewing development plans and documentation to ensure consistency with system-level requirements.
Define and maintain the software integration strategy and schedule across multiple teams and subsystems.
Ensure the compatibility of software interfaces between digital payload units, system controllers, and test systems.
Oversee the integration and test campaigns of software components in lab environments and, later, in system-level payload testing.
Drive the verification and validation (V&V) process for integrated software, ensuring traceability to system requirements.
Coordinate closely with systems engineering to ensure software behavior aligns with payload-level functional and performance expectations.
Review software development plans, ICDs, interface documentation, test reports, and release notes to confirm completeness and compliance.
Identify integration risks early and support troubleshooting, debugging, and resolution of system-level software issues.
Foster collaboration across software, hardware, and systems teams to ensure robust and consistent integration practices.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of experience in software development and integration, preferably in the aerospace or telecommunications domain.
Strong experience leading software integration activities in complex, distributed systems.
Good understanding of digital telecommunications payloads, especially architectures involving Software Defined Radio (SDR) and digital beamforming.
Familiarity with embedded software, real-time operating systems (RTOS), FPGA interfaces, and communication protocols.
Hands-on knowledge of test automation, CI/CD practices, and tools such as GitLab, Jenkins, Python, MATLAB, and Docker.
Ability to coordinate across disciplines and manage technical risks associated with software integration.
Complementary Skills/Knowledge: Previous experience in Space and/or Constellation Operations
Knowledge of requirements Management tools such as DOORS/Windchill/Jama
